Variation in root morphology of epiphytic orchids along small-scale and large-scale moisture gradients [PDF]
Root morphology is expected to respond to environmental conditions. Two earlier studies reported predictable changes in the structure of the velamen radicum (common in monocotyledons) along rainfall gradients, which was expected from its assumed role in ...

Root Morphology and Anatomy Affect Cadmium Translocation and Accumulation in Rice
Paddy fields contaminated with cadmium (Cd) present decreased grain yield and produce Cd-contaminated grains. Screening for low-Cd-accumulating cultivars is a useful method to reduce the amount of Cd in the grains.

Tracing root permeability: comparison of tracer methods
Root epidermis and apoplastic barriers (endodermis and exodermis) are the critical root structures involved in setting up plant-soil interface by regulating free apoplastic movement of solutes within root tissues. Probing root apoplast permeability with "

CERTAIN STRUCTURAL RESPONSES OF TWO MAIZE CVS. DIFFERing IN THEIR SALT TOLERANCE TO TRACE· ELEMENTS UNDER SALINE CONDITIONS [PDF]
The effects of both salinity at 2.5 dsrn and foliar application with some trace-elements. i.e., Zn, Fe and Mn each alone or in combination on growth and anatomical structure of both roots and leaves of two maize cultivars differing in their salt ...

Variability in the response of exodermis to nutrient deficiencies in the environment [PDF]
v angličtině Plant growth and development is largely dependent on the soil environment which is a source of minerals and water needed for plants to survive.

Early development of epiphytic roots: perspectives based on the composition of the velamen cell wall [PDF]
The velamen, a root structure of some epiphytic species for water uptake, usually is stratified epidermis consisting of dead cells. In general, its cell walls exhibit variation during development, including in thickness and amount and type of impregnated

Internal aeration is crucial for root growth under waterlogged conditions. Some wetland plants have a structural barrier that impedes oxygen leakage from the basal part of roots called a radial oxygen loss (ROL) barrier.

Passage cells are frequently found in the exodermis and the endodermis of the roots. Because passage cells lack an apoplastic diffusion barrier, they are thought to provide pathways for the transport of nutrients and the entrance of endomycorrhizal fungi.

Root anatomy of Venezuelan species of Geonoma (Arecaceae: Arecoideae: Geonomateae)
In this research we studied root anatomy of eight species and two morphotypes from the genus Geonoma in Venezuela, in order to explore their structural and taxonomic implications. Fresh material sampled wild population was fixed in FAA and hand-sectioned
